Artwork Description
For this piece I was thinking of creating an artwork with warm yellows, ambers & honey-like shades. Starting with this colour palette in mind I began thinking of a story that could be told by using different motifs.
I have this butterfly in my lounge at home and noticed the honeycomb pattern. I love this graphic overlay and thought it would be really good to add this to my artwork. The embroidered bees I had found a few weeks before when I was buying a dress at the Wyld shop in Joo Chait. I knew then that these little bees would be fun to incorporate into a future piece.
The title comes from a line in an old song , it goes like this: “I’ve got a women with plenty of money , she got the money & I got the hon”. The nature of this artwork is very playful so I felt this title worked well. Continuing on with the playful nature I thought about adding more creatures - the birds & the bees and the fish in the sea …I’ve used a verity of techniques, you’ll see both fabric and wallpaper cut outs for the flowers. For these wallpaper flowers have hand painted in yellow details. For the double happiness fish , which originally came from a Chinese paper cut out, I’ve screen printed both a velvety flock layer on as well as a metallic foil. The fish really stand out with all the warm tones of yellow and amber, I felt that bringing this contrast in brought a good balance to the artwork.
